/NQ futures are trading slightly above the previous value area following strong buying pressure coming in around 9240 overnight. The choppy price action coming off of support indicates selling pressure in the midst of rising price action. This could keep contracts range bound today.

/6B futures are trading above the previous value area after strong support around 1.2293. With the large low volume node just above current price, look for upward movement to slow and return downward, barring any significant news.
FINAL THOUGHTS
/VX futures have dropped into the 20s as volatility continues to slowly decrease. Gamma barely moved yesterday, but remains positive as it continues to put the brakes on volatility in /ES price action. DIX rose significantly as institutional buying increased. We continue to recommend keeping smaller contract size and using tighter stops.
